The Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) is planning to build a riverine multipurpose jetty at the Haldia dock in West Bengal.

In this regards, the KoPT has invited RFQs for construction of a 270 mtrs long riverine multipurpose jetty at the Haldia dock. The project is estimated to cost Rs 290 crore.

The jetty, to be located in the upstream of the present third oil jetty of the dock and complete with back-up facilities, will be implemented through the PPP mode on DBFOT basis. The last date for submission of RFQ application is 28 March 2011.

Meanwhile, the KoPT is planning to construct another 175 mtrs riverine jetty to handle projected increased volume of transloading traffic. The capacity of the smaller jetty will be 2.5 million tonne. However, the jetty will not be built on PPP basis but by the port itself. The cost of construction is pegged at Rs 33 crore.
